@CJohn Unsurprisingly, the Globes turned a massive audience. Combined with the SIC Caras broadcast, it hit nearly 18% rating and 40% share.

 

Cristina's ridiculous dresses have become the ultra meme on Twitter and Instagram. She absolutely succeeded in manipulating the mentally frail Portuguese in making her the talk of the town as she totally wanted

 

And now SIC is promoting their new soap, Terra Brava, which is basically Ouro Verde meets Espírito Indomável. It's gonna be another runaway mega hit. All the while TVI will have some game shows with Pedro Fernandes and Pedro Teixeira that, even if good (which they might be), are guaranteed flops. RAP is the only competitive thing atm.

"mentally frail Portuguese..."   

[Morieris]

My flight to Orlando had TV's in the back and a ton of movies....so I finally watched 20 minutes of that Ben Hur remake. 

 

Uh, ok. Sure.

October means officially Hocus Pocus time! This movie is iconic, a sequel would do gangbusters.

Live look at @DAR right now.

Wow.  That was brutal.   Not over yet, but commiserations in order for all Brewers fans if they lose that way.

Playoff Baseball is the best and worst.

Oh yes, I know about the thrills and the agony of MLB playoffs, having been invested in so many of the Mariners' past series.

 

Oh wait...

 

Seriously though, I feel for all the Brewers fans out there. A two-out, bases-loaded hit with a booted ball is a brutal way to lose.

My men's rugby league team were terrible this year and finished 2nd last.

 

Oh, well.  At least the women's team have made the Grand Final on Sunday.

Sorry @Plain Old Tele.  Even if he wasn't going to play the Dodgers, I am forced to stan for the Nats here all the way to the end of the World Series*.

I'm sure you understand. 👍

Don't have any team to root for in MLB playoffs. But in other news....

Yep! Opening night in the NHL tonight. Got a double header planned: Leafs/Senators and Oilers/Canucks.

 

GO CANUCKS GO!

[75Live]

I don't count these baseball games as playoffs.  They can call them wild card playoffs all they want, they are just 2 play in games like basically game 163 when teams used to tie in standing.

 

Regardless, I'm more happy to see hockey back even if baseball mattered right now

I just watched the live stream from the other night of that new Epcot nighttime show that just replaced Illuminations after a 20 year run (and will be replaced by another night show in 2020). They sure are embracing the whole "we're making this park more recognizably Disney" angle huh.
